Mohamed Salah 'left in tears' after dressing room blast from manager

Mohamed Salah was once left in tears after being substituted at half-time by Jose Mourinho and criticised for his performance by the former Chelsea boss, according to ex-team-mate John Obi Mikel.

Chelsea beat Liverpool to the £11 million signing of Salah back in 2014, but the Egyptian spent a torrid two-and-a-half years at Stamford Bridge before departing for Fiorentina.
